A source also informed the Palm Beach Post that the Dolphins have not spoken to other teams about Jordan and that there hasn't been any internal dialogue about trading Wallace or Wake.

It wouldn't be a surprise if Hickey eventually dangles Jordan, who has no clear-cut position in coordinator Kevin Coyle's 4-3 defense. The former Oregon star is better suited as an edge rusher in a 3-4 scheme, and he's buried behind 2013 breakout star Olivier Vernon in Miami.

Even if Hickey is collecting draft picks and clearing cap space to rebuild his tattered offensive line and lock up Brent Grimes, it's hard to imagine Wallace and Wake changing uniforms this offseason.

Salary-cap penalties aside, the Dolphins couldn't get enough value in return to make it worth pulling the trigger.
